A lot of people take for granted what they have. Whether it’s a person or a thing. Maybe it’s part of human nature? I don’t know. We tend to want more and more. We become greedy. Even I am guilty of it. It’s so easy to forget to appreciate what I have infront of me. And to think, the things that we want more are the things that we don’t really need. Upgrading our phones, closet collections, I could go on and on. It’s like we get stuck in this greedy cloud and it’s hard to get out of it. The more we are in it, the more we float away from the ground and then it gets even harder and harder to get out of it.
Snap out of it. Always remember that someone out there is enjoying life with having less than what you have. Starving children from third world countries. When I was a child, my parents always told me to think of them when I get greedy. Then I would feel bad and end up praying for them instead. We need to think and appreciate what we have. Because if we all did, the world would be such a better place.
Recently, my brother almost died in hospital… It gave me a new perspective on life and all of a sudden peoples little complaints became pathetic to me. Life is way too short to be ungrateful and selfish.. Tomorrow is not promised. We are all entitled to have shit days but there is always someone worse off than you.
